The RA President Armen Sarkissian referred to the violation of the ceasefire by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces in the Hadrut region of Artsakh on December 12.
"On December 12, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, violating the ceasefire announced on November 9, captured the village of Hin Tagher in the Hadrut region of Artsakh and advanced towards the village of Khtsaberd in the same region.
The relevant departments of the Government of the Republic of Armenia have not yet properly presented the situation and the actions taken by the Armenian side.
Taking into account the situation, the President of the Republic appeals to the RA Ministries of Defense and Foreign Affairs to immediately present to the public the situation in Artsakh, as well as the actions taken by the Armenian side to protect the mentioned settlements and effectively maintain the ceasefire.
At the same time, the President of the Republic appeals to the RA National Assembly to urgently convene a special sitting of the National Assembly, which will examine the causes of the situation in the Hadrut region and the ways of solution.
Highly appreciating the ceasefire reached on November 9 through the mediation of the Russian President and its observance, the RA President also reminded that by the decision of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Armenia of July 8, 1992, Armenia is obliged to consistently support the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and the protection of its population", it is said in the statement of the president.
